Kurt couldn’t believe his eyes. Right where the entrance to his house was, there was a big banner put up that said, “Happy Birthday, Kurt!” The design was so beautiful he was sure that only Blaine could have done it. He had photos of Blaine’s various doodles which made him sure of the fact. As he parked his car in the street opposite his house, he was sure that Blaine had invited all the New Directions people to what could only be a birthday party for him.
He looked at himself and was sure he looked pathetic. He was already feeling sweaty when he had left the garage and the onset of early summer was not helping him. He really didn’t want to enter the house like this, but he was sure that he couldn’t go anywhere else, seeing how this was his house.
So Kurt went in and knocked on the door, hoping to God that it would be Mercedes so she could hide him somehow and let him change clothes before he appeared as the fabulous diva he was.
As he saw the person who opened the door smile at him, his smile turned to one of shock.
Trent smiled widely as he said, “THE BIRTHDAY BOY IS HERE!!!”
Everyone flooded at the main door to see the man of the hour. And then someone said,” You know how to repair cars?” Every Warbler’s jaw had dropped while you could hear the sound of Blaine’s drool hitting the floor.
All the girls in the New Directions only giggled while Kurt gave off an affronted aura, though he was pleased inside that he could shock the Warblers. He said, “Why? If a gay guy can follow football, why can’t he also know his way around a garage?”
Blaine could do nothing but nod; it was like he had turned into a robot repeating the same things his master did, who in this case, was obviously Kurt.
As much as Kurt liked being admired for the fact that his dad taught him his profession, he still stank. So he literally barged his way through the crowd and ran down to his bedroom. He then screamed, “Turn down the volume!” and slammed the bedroom door.
David, who was the only coherent Warbler asked, “Since what age has he been working in the garage?”
Blaine fainted when Rachel said, “Six years old.”

Kurt knew that he couldn’t go through the expanded rigorous moisturizing routine he usually adopted after working at the garage with his Dad. He went into the bathroom, pondering exactly how all the Warblers came when only four or five of them had made friends with him.
While this was going on, Blaine had finally woken up and had a dopey grin on his face. He said, “Just when I thought Kurt was sexy in himself, he brings a whole new side of him to love. So sexy.” Wes asked him, “Are you going to reveal any secrets? Because if you are, I’ll get my mobile ready to video you.” Blaine just shook his shoulders and got up. He told all the singers, “I hope you guys don’t forget the lyrics because I don’t want to spoil Kurt’s birthday. Please, guys?”
Mercedes told him, “We’ll be fine, white boy. He was our boy before he became yours and then ours again.”
Wes and David were holding hands and refusing to let go. They said, “You have to let us stand together. We will not part.” Jeff and Nick, who could see Blaine freaking out, chose to exchange places with them.

Kurt entered the room after having taken a short, but satisfying bath. He saw both the groups in a familiar Warbler-like formation. They then started singing and Kurt’s eyes got a bit misty when he recognized the love song.
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
Blaine then walked out and got a bouquet of yellow tulips. He gave them to Kurt and said, “I don’t know what good deed I have done that I got you in my life. But I promise you one thing, I will never, ever let you go.” And then they kissed as everyone cheered on.
It was bliss. Kurt had missed kissing Blaine like this. He wondered what a dunderhead he was to think that Blaine was cheating on him when he was organizing such a beautiful party for Kurt. He promised himself that he would trust Blaine more from now on and not jump to the wrong conclusion immediately. Kurt then realized that the two of them had been kissing all this time and they parted only to see all the other guys staring at them. Blaine just laughed and said, “We’re flattered but we’re not into exhibitionism.”
Kurt smiled at everyone but then his eyes narrowed upon Wes and David who were holding hands. Well, they were always holding hands, but soft looks were also being exchanged. Kurt knew what that look was; it was the one he gave Blaine and vice-versa. It was a look of true love. He tried to tell Blaine, who gave them an encouraging smile. It immediately became obvious to Kurt that Blaine had already known about this. Blaine was planning for your party, he thought.
Kurt tried to be calm as he pointed to their hands and asked, “When were you going to tell me about this?”
